Hey

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about people not doing very well in essays, etc. The past two years, the pass mark for an A has been 64%. I don't have much knowledge on tis right now but is it likely that this will remain in place this year, or will it rise?

Cheers!

It was still only 65% in 2002 so I can't see it rising much past that, if it does at all.

[Discogirl17]

Yes it was 64% for an A lat year. They have to prove that exams are standardised so that one year isnt more disadvantaged therefore although it probably will rise a bit I dont see it going up past 67%, so the perecentage for an A will be somewhere between 64 and 67.

What was the percentage for a B and C last year?

[Ally]

Can't remember, but it's up on one of the stickied threads.

[gary]

46% for a C
55% for a B

That is quite low for a B.

[Discogirl17]

No no thats not the marks last year surely not.
I thought it was 45 for a C
56 for a B

No? I know they are on the SQA report from last year but can't be bothered finding it.

[gary]

I got they results from the SQA report.

[Mikey_Pee]

Even more weight to me possibly getting an A! Wow, I'm excited!

Yeah, all we can do right now is pray!

[chocolate limes]

that is really low to pass.

Ihope that it will be the same this year!

[Discogirl17]

Doubt it will be quite that low but very close to it

[coolio]

hi, im coolio (aka lisa g) I really hope the pass mark is low aswell - maybe there just mite be a tiny chance of me still gettin my B. oh i pray

[Equilibrium]

Since the close reading was probabably easyer i would think each boundary would probably increase by around 2% from last years.

[Discogirl17]

I'd say 3 or 4% but maybe your right.

[Equilibrium]

A and B may go up by that but but C usually never varies by over 2 %

[Discogirl17]

Thats true. Ok, good advice from the chemical genius Mr Equilibrium

[oddbins]

so the perecentage for an A will be somewhere between 64 and 67.

Woohoo! That is soo low, I might actually get an A for english, might.
Thats extremely low compared to maths, which is 78% this year for an A. Which I think is a bit high, but i'm not one to argue with the SQA

[Discogirl17]

I agree that it should be a higher pass mark for Maths though
